The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1415

Rachel questioned, "As a journalist, you hold paramount the principle of reporting the truth of an event. Before you even had evidence to back anything up, you talked smack about Ms. Thompson and made her out to be the enemy. Were you sent by Ms. Thompson's rival companies to stir up trouble?"

The young lady may look fragile, but she faced the journalist with harsh words and determination. Everybody was shocked.

The male journalist stepped back and hid in the crowd.

"Ms. Mead..." lan stared blankly at her resolute face, his heart racing.

He should be the calmest, but somehow he could not pull himself together.

Rachel took a deep breath and said, "I came forward to file a case and identify Charles because of Ms. Thompson. She patiently waited for me, guided me, and gave us the strength to take one step forward. Ms. Thompson is our savior. If I don't stand up for my savior when someone slanders her, what does that make me? Where is my conscience?"

By then, Rachel was choking with sobs.

The scene started off chaotic, and now it was as if a pause button had been hit.

No one saw it coming.

The victim was a seventeen-year-old. She went through a traumatic experience and was bombarded by the media after giving her statement. Rachel was most vulnerable at the moment. However, she faced the accuser of her lifesaver with bravery and an open mind. She stood up for Bella with strength and determination.

The girl's integrity was impressive.

Despite the mounting pressure, Rachel fought for Bella's honor. The crowd had to wonder if Bella was indeed the pretentious woman that others had painted online.

Rachel got into the car, escorted by lan, and they left safely.

Unable to stand it anymore, Bella tearfully threw herself in Justin's arms. Her cries were silent.

Justin said nothing and held her, offering words and pats of comfort.

Indeed, it was unnecessary to care about what irrelevant people thought.

The girls understood her. He understood her, and that was enough.

The evidence was collected, the victims came forward, and the killer Charles hired fessed up.

The police formally arrested Charles on charges of rape and attempted murder.

It was not a matter of cooperating with the investigation as a person of interest anymore. Charles was a criminal now.

The changes in his life nearly pushed Charles into a breakdown. He yelled and cried in the detention center like a mad dog, ramming the bars, rolling on the floor, and getting physical with police officers. Hence, he was also charged with assaulting a police officer.

"I was framed! I only assaulted a few girls. I never killed anyone. I was set up!" Charles' bloodshot eyes bulged as he slammed the metal bars.

When he lost strength in his arms, he removed his left prosthetic to hammer the door.

"Many in here claimed to be framed, and what did they get? None of them are out yet."

The police officer stared at Charles' rugged, haggard face and spat in resentment. "Tsk! You make me sick. No one in your family is worth talking about. It's a shame castration isn't introduced to rape crimes. The current punishment doesn't fit the crime."

With eyes nearly popping out of his head, Charles shouted, "I didn't kill anyone. I was framed! I want to appeal my case! I want my attorney!"

Two days later, Charles got a visit from his brother, James, instead of a lawyer.
